Ventura, CA. - Heart disease continues to be the No. 1 killer of American men and women. Last year 750,000 American died from heart disease and almost half had no symptoms prior to their first event, which was death. To help you reach the goal of preventing this from happening to you, Community Memorial Health System is offering free HeartAware screenings at its Centers for Family Health offices monthly. The free screenings take place at the following Centers for Family Health locations on the following Saturdays, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.: The Mini HeartAware screening is designed to determine your risk factors for developing heart disease which can lead to a heart attack or stroke. Once a HeartAware risk assessment is taken, each participant is given a personalized and confidential report that indicates their overall risk of developing cardiovascular disease, as well as ways to reduce it. The mini HeartAware screening includes: Total cholesterol and glucose for non-fasting and for fasting with appointments: total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL and glucose, bilateral blood pressure, rhythm check if needed, cardiac auscultation, weight, fat percentage and BMI. Also offered is individualized education towards achieving optimal cardiac well being of health. There are no advance requirements necessary; however, reservations to each scheduled event are limited. Call 805/667-2818 or go to www.cmhshealth.org/rsvp to schedule your heart screening.

On Saturday, October 30 from 9AM to 1PM the Santa Paula Senior Center will be teaming with driving experts, Occupational Therapists and trained technicians to hold a “CarFit” event. It’s a unique educational program designed to help drivers 55 and over improve driving safety and comfort by ensuring their cars are properly adjusted for them. A special team will lead drivers through a 12-point checklist to ensure they understand how to properly use their vehicle’s features. CarFit is not a mechanical inspection of the car or a test of the driver’s ability. Instead, during the 20 minute session trained technicians recommend personal vehicle adjustments and adaptations and offer resources that could enhance senior driving safety. The American Society on Aging created CarFit in collaboration with AARP, the American Automobile Association (AAA) and the American Occupational Therapy Association. The CarFit event will take place in the public parking lot at Main and Steckel by Glen City School. The check-up is free, but appointments are required. Stop by the Senior Center or call 933-4226 ext 356 to sign up. |

Welcome and join us in opening up YOUR own Fillmore Senior Center Treasure Box! This is a national affordable meal program available which assists not only those who are low income but ANYONE looking for a break in their grocery bills each month. Each month offers a different menu. For those of you with kids away in college, this is an excellent way for you to order them a box in their city and have them enjoy nutritious, affordable meals! Once a month, on the Third Saturday morning, a group of dedicated Fillmore Senior Center volunteers distribute “The Treasure Boxes”. Marie Wren initially brought this wonderful affordable food program for Fillmore, Piru and Bardsale families to enjoy. The month of September was the first successful trial run with delivery to recipients running smoothly. This was due to the assistance of the youth in the well-organized Fillmore Sheriff's Department Cadet Explorer Program who are supervised by School Resource Officer Leo Vasquez. Other TB volunteers included: Donna Voelker, Judy Fairall, Henry Santana, Miguel Zavala, Joanna Vargas, Marie Sandford and Norma Pérez-Sandford. We also thank Mr. Jesus "Chuy" Lopez, owner of El Pescador Restaurant, for the use of his delivery truck which allowed us to pick up the TB order in one run from Moorpark. This November month, the “Holiday Box” is offered for popular $35 Holiday Treasure Box: includes turkey (14-16 lbs.), dressing, macaroni & cheese, carrots corn and sweet potatoes vegetables and dessert--YUM! For an additional $30, one may also order extra boxes: Regular November, Hearty Meat Protein, Quick & Healthy (10) Dinners or Kid's Boxes, respectively. Please bring in your $30 cash or money order in person to the Fillmore Senior Center (524-4533) between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m., Monday thru Thursday. Lori Nunez is the Senior Center Staff member who will take the TB order or you may also pay online directly at www.thetreasurebox.org. You, your church or business may also wish to donate, either directly or anonymously, a box or two to families going through tough times right now. The Novemeber online order deadline is Sunday, November 7th and the distribution day is on Saturday, November 20th. The October distribution will be Saturday, October 23, 2010 between 9:30 to 11 am at the Fillmore Senior Center parking lot. Also, adult members of a church group or club are encouraged to join this friendly “good deeds” adult volunteer group just one Saturday morning a month. Please stop by the Fillmore Senior Center and pick up volunteer forms. This is a fabulous way to make a HUGE difference to families in Fillmore and Piru. DON'T MISS THE DEADLINE! |

Thousand Oaks-area residents raise funds for care and cure
Organizers for the 18th annual Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk in Thousand Oaks are taking team and individual registrations. On Saturday, Oct. 23, hundreds of participants, including individuals and teams, will gather at Conejo Creek North in Thousand Oaks in support of the Alzheimer’s Association. Registration has begun online at www.alz.org/CaCentralCoast. Exhibitors, vendors and sponsors are being sought for this family friendly event, which includes food, entertainment, prizes and fun activities for all ages. “As the Baby Boom generation begins to face Alzheimer’s, increased community participation is crucial,” said Rhonda Spiegel, president and CEO of the Alzheimer’s Association, California Central Coast Chapter. “More than half a million people are living with Alzheimer’s in California. That number is expected to grow dramatically as our population ages. There are many ways people can help, including advocacy, volunteerism and participation in fund-raising events such as Memory Walk.” Alzheimer’s disease is a growing epidemic that is now the sixth leading cause of death in California. Experts estimate that someone in America develops Alzheimer's disease every 70 seconds. By mid-century, someone will develop Alzheimer’s disease every 33 seconds. Memory Walk is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research. Since 1989, Memory Walk has raised more than $300 million for the cause. To register online, visit www.alz.org/CaCentralCoast, or to participate as a Sponsor, Exhibitor or Team Captain, contact Angie Rosen at (805) 484-6028. Memory Walk proceeds benefit the Alzheimer's Association, the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer care, support and research. The mission of the Alzheimer's Association is to eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. To learn more about the work of the Alzheimer’s Association, or to locate resources in your area, visit www.alz.org/CaCentralCoast. |
